Tuesday again..

It is funny but I don't think I like Tuesday very much these days.  These are the days when my kids act up, my hubby and Josh are gone to work all day and I feel like trash usually and today is no exception.  Of course, I now know WHY I feel like trash.

Yesterday was my dr's appt.  I have been diagnosed with gestational diabetes and have been told I will probably need to take insulin shots.  THAT made my day!!!   The good news was I only gained 4 lbs in the past month and that's a total of 14 the whole pregnancy so far.  A funny note, was while using the bathroom, I had noticed a piece of nylon stuck in my velcro on my casual dress shoes.  I pulled it off and thought no more about it.  Well, when I stepped on the scales at the doctor's something felt off and I looked down to see my stiff toes of my bad foot ALL out of my nylon and it looked so funny I about lost it right there!  LOL.

Anyway, my iron levels have dropped dramatically from 136 at start of pregnancy to 112 yesterday.   My sugar was 5.6 which is okay but I had not eaten anything.

My doctor thinks perhaps this one will come early, head is down and possibly engaged.  I have 77 days left but they will take it at least a week early anyway maybe more if my sugar goes up.  My doctor also thinks I have a hernia from the coughing and puking while I was so sick.  I know it hurts there like crazy. 

No pre-eclampsia though, my bp is actually LOW at 102/64 and that's probably why I can't stand lugging my body around in stores etc.  That and the low iron.  Apparently the low iron can cause the low bp!

SO I have been taking vitamin D and today looked on the bottle to find not to take while pregnant or nursing!!!  WHY?  I look online and the sing the benefits of taking it loud and clear and yet the actual pills say no way!  BIZARRE!

So today's kind of a bummer because I have not slept good at night the past two or three nights and am extremely exhausted all day.  After the doctor's, Derk and I came home and slept for an hour!  We NEVER do that! sigh...  He put my new blinds up for me last night and I love the way they look.  It's slowly coming together!  Hopefully all done and painted before I deliver!  I'm impressed though!

Well time to get something done about lunch here.  Not sure what that will be.  I'm not very decisive lately lol.
